Showcase Your Hard Work at the Student Research Symposium!

Announced on: Thursday, Feb. 06, 2025

Hosted by the Office of Graduate Studies, the 39th Annual Student Research Symposium is designed to promote and recognize student excellence in research and creative activities. This annual symposium gives undergrad and graduate students from across campus the opportunity to present their work in one of three ways:

• 3-Minute Presentation
  Students from across disciplines and research stages are encouraged to present their work in a 3-minute elevator-style presentation.
• 10-Minute Presentation
  Students with advanced or completed work are encouraged to present their research or creative project in a more formal presentation. Ten Chico State winners will be selected to compete at the statewide competition.
• Poster Session
  Students at any academic level and from all areas of study are welcome to share their research with visually engaging posters.

The symposium is a fantastic opportunity for students to enhance their presentation and communication skills while sharing their work with a wider audience. Plus, participating in the symposium can add a valuable boost to resumes or applications for advanced degrees, serving as a standout example of career-advancing professional development.

We encourage all students to participate in the Student Research Symposium. Visit our website for more information and examples of past presentations. Please note that each presentation has a separate application. Once you have decided which presentation you would like to participate in, complete that specific application.

Deadline to sign up is February 19th.

We're also offering special Public Speaking Workshops on 2/20 and 2/28 to help you prepare. Visit our Upcoming Events Page for details.
